Final Production (1)
“Get in line, get in line!”
“Hey, don’t be so picky!”
Groan groan-
The National Museum, which used to be crowded with flies every day, is now packed.
The long line that started at the entrance was over 100 meters long, and the people there were of various ethnicities.
Starting with Japanese, then Americans, Chinese, Russians, etc.
Tourists from dozens of countries look on with anticipation.
A beautiful reporter stands in front of the camera and reports the current situation.
“It’s been two weeks since User Hyunsoo declared that he would become king.”
“After the declaration, he released his own mad movie video, which created a lot of buzz.”
“User Hyunsu has revealed that all of his creations up to now have been made ‘by hand’ and not through skill or profession, and as proof, he has released a documentary reproducing the Baekje Chiljido.”
Documentary on the restoration of Baekje’s Chiljido.
The documentary, which lasted about an hour and a half, condensed the process of Hyun-soo’s handcrafting.
The Great Atlas War was a huge hit, and the documentary achieved a viewership rating of over 40%.
“The documentary released on Ztube has garnered tens of millions of views. Since then, it has become one of the must-see travel destinations in many countries, attracting many tourists… .”
“The number of tourists visiting our country specifically to see Baekje’s Chiljido and Yonggwanggeom is also increasing….”
“Our people also come to see his work….”
“Some people are raising their voices, saying that user Hyun-soo should be designated as a human cultural asset.”
Kim Jin-su, an employee at the National Museum, stopped walking while running around to control visitors.
‘This is really great….’
He found it hard to believe that he was enjoying the popularity of the hand-made blacksmith.
The National Museum originally had a low average number of visitors per day, with less than 1,000.
‘There are now tens of thousands of people.’
Suddenly, I remember what Hyun-soo said in the past.
‘I just want to show that the world still needs the profession of blacksmith.’
Nowadays, everything is mechanized and blacksmiths have almost completely disappeared.
Thump thump-
Kim Jin-su’s heart races as he looks at the thousands of people lining up to see his restorations and replicas.
‘I’m only in my early 20s…’
Hyunsoo was making his dream come true.
That moment.
Inside the National Museum.
Children wearing bee kindergarten uniforms.
One of the children looked at the Baekje Chiljido map as if he was possessed.
A child who was looking at the teacher with sparkling eyes asks the teacher.
“Teacher, if I learn, can I make a sword like that?”
The kindergarten teacher laughed heartily at Soo-hyun’s words.
“Does our Su-hyeon want to become a blacksmith too?”
“yes!”
“If we work hard, our Su-hyeon can become a great blacksmith like the master craftsman, Hyeon-su.”
“Hehehe! But, teacher!”
“huh?”
“Are there really only blacksmiths like Hyun Soo in the world these days!?”
The teacher looked thoughtful for a moment at that question.
She wasn’t sure either.
“Maybe there will be a few more minutes?”
Soon, children dressed in bee suits scurried over to watch the next show.
And the skinny old man looking at the child Su-hyeon mentioned earlier.
He was next in line, and he was Japanese.
The old man was Japanese, so he couldn’t understand what the child and the teacher were saying, but he could sense it.
‘I can’t do things like being a blacksmith… If you have dreams like that, you should give them up right now.’
The old man secretly scolded the child for having such a dream.
Again, like a nightmare, the news of that day rings in my ears.
-Last night in Osaka, a strange man… .
He felt his heart pounding.
Soon he stood before the replica, the Seven Maps of Baekje.
‘Hoo… .’
The old man’s name is Takashi.
He is a man who has been a blacksmith for 26 generations.
He is just a person who literally did that.
A craftsman who was once the only maker in Japan who could make the best Japanese swords.
He was seeing something different from the average viewer.
‘That’s quite remarkable. A young man in his 20s engraved this pattern using the gold inlay technique used during the Baekje period…’
‘Just the right amount of forging and just the right amount of pickling… not too much or too flashy.’
Well, that’s it.
‘Still, it’s just a child’s play and important facts are being overlooked.’
Even the elderly have seen several videos of Hyun-soo, who has become famous.

‘There are so many fake things…!’
The old man has been a blacksmith for 50 years.
‘Even if it’s lacking, you’re the only one who can fulfill my request. I never thought I’d ask someone to make something in my life.’
One of the few craftsmen left in the world.
He is also one of the people who advised the blacksmith department at Ares and one of the four craftsmen named by CEO Lee Se-jin.
It was the moment when the encounter between Takashi and Hyeonsu, master swordsmiths of the Japanese sword, was imminent.
one side.
Twinkle twinkle-!
Tourists waiting to see the Chiljido map were confused.
An old Japanese man stood in front of the Chiljido for ten minutes, his expression changing from moment to moment and his eyes sparkling.
Moreover, he even made many exclamations.
That’s right. Anyone can see that this is Takashi’s current appearance.
It was the appearance of someone who was completely absorbed in the Chiljido map, and it was enough to make him look like a total fan of Hyun-soo!
Takashi was a man whose words and actions were very inconsistent.
***
Atlas was bustling with new users.
“Ah…! This is the territory of the famous general Hyeon-su…!”
“The first place where users declared independence!”
At the time of the Atlas Awards Ceremony.
Hyunsoo declared that he would accept blacksmiths into his territory.
The people who caused this are making a mess in Atlas.
The immigrants brought vitality to Atlas.
“How much is this?”
The number of people transacting through stores has increased.
“…Can you do it for me?”
“Of course!”
There are also many people who do quests through Atlas.
also.
“I’m looking for a girlfriend! I’m 11 years old, and I’ve heard a lot that I look like Park Seo-joon when I look at him through a convex lens!!”
“…?”
There has been an influx of people who enjoy games in various ways.
At the time of the awards ceremony, approximately 400,000 people had applied to move to Atlas.
But Hyunsoo couldn’t accept everyone.
“There’s so much more than I thought…?”
The reality is that the number expected to be around 100,000 people.
There were so many applications that Nell and Hyunsoo’s predictions were completely off the mark.
The influence of the handcrafted blacksmith, and the only master blacksmith at that, exceeded the two people’s expectations.
[103,017 immigration applications accepted.]
So Hyun-soo and Nell accepted only 100,000 people for now.
Among them was Black Anvil, which was the number one blacksmith in Korea, and Rowoon, the master of the Black Anvil Guild, became a member of the blacksmiths in name and reality.
The problem is ‘promise’.
Hyunsoo decided to gradually accept the people who applied for immigration.
Also, the 100,000 immigrant blacksmiths had something to ask of the local blacksmiths.
‘Atlas, even ordinary blacksmiths would have learned from Hyunsoo!?’
‘They will improve our skills!’
That’s right.
Many of them wanted to grow as blacksmiths rather than receive systematic help.
The problem was that Hyunsoo couldn’t cover them all, and accepting the remaining 300,000 people wasn’t an easy task.
Because Hyunsoo can’t just stay in Yeongji.
This brought Nell to the blacksmith shop.
“We need to find a way quickly.”
Otherwise, many blacksmiths will quickly relocate.
Those who re-migrate never return to Atlas again.
We also needed to prepare to accept the remaining 300,000.
Hyunsoo nodded his head.
“I want to accept them and help them grow.”
Nell was amazed at the sight.
Hyunsoo’s will to keep his promise!
And I want to teach many more people!
“When the number of people grows to 400,000, it will come back as taxes later, hehehe.”
“ah…?”
Nell realized she was mistaken.
It’s just like Hyunsoo said.
As they grow, they will help the blacksmiths who come in later grow.
The amount of weapons that can be traded will also increase significantly, and the amount of taxes collected will also increase!
Hyunsoo dreams of receiving high taxes like a very evil loan shark!
So, is Nell disappointed?
no.
The reason the blacksmiths migrated was because they wanted to get something from Atlas.
By giving them what they have to gain, Atlas takes the corresponding advantage.
That was the quickest way to become a real king.
“What do you think is the easiest solution, Hyunsoo?”
“He is the one who can lead the blacksmiths in my stead.”
“ah….”
It’s such a difficult problem.
A person who can lead the blacksmiths who have been brought in after seeing their skills and replace Hyeon-su.
Right now, Peru and Black Anvil Forge’s Rowan are covering it to some extent, but that’s not enough.
“No response yet?”
“…yes.”
Nell shook her head at Hyunsoo’s words.
In fact, Hyunsoo didn’t have high expectations for this.
“As Hyunsoo said, the ‘real blacksmiths’ might show up.”
Hyunsoo had been expecting it.
After revealing that he was a blacksmith in Ares, he was asked to contact other blacksmiths.
But there is still no news.
‘They might be able to fill in what I lack.’
Hyunsoo is still lacking.
There are tens of thousands of weapon making methods around the world.
Hyunsoo is not good at making medieval armor.
It also lacks things like longswords.
But if other blacksmiths still existed, they could fill in the gaps.
But I didn’t have high expectations because I knew it was greed.
“The person that Hyunsoo was talking about is….”
“I wish you wouldn’t talk about him.”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
“it’s okay.”
Hyunsoo smiled bitterly.
He had told Nell a story about a famous general a while ago.
That master is now a forgotten man.
Hyunsoo recalled the news from 10 years ago that shook the world and felt like a nightmare.
-Last night in Osaka, a terrible incident occurred in which a man brandished a Japanese sword and seriously injured 13 people and killed 8 people.
-The criminal who wielded a Japanese sword in Osaka is a resident of Nara Prefecture….
-The culprit was revealed to be 42-year-old Minato…
-The Japanese archipelago was shocked when it was discovered that the Japanese sword he was carrying belonged to Master Takashi, a blacksmith known to have been making Japanese swords for 26 generations.
Last article content.
-It is known that among the casualties was Aoi, the grandson and disciple of Master Takashi…
That moment.
The master, who had lost everything and vowed never to make weapons again, takes a sad step forward.
Mumble-mumble-
“A blacksmith? That’s just useless.”
An old man who is prone to making inconsistent statements.
The old man was entering a blacksmith shop in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, where Hyun was working to commission a piece.
